If the pad your talking about Miguel is "egg-crated" i use the same one. It is a nice pad. it also clings to the fabric of my SB pro so I don't have any problems with it sliding down while sleeping. It's about $12 versus the $8 of the blue pad. However I don't think it's CCF but is still very dense and rolls up the same as the blue pad.

Another option is a thick plastic drop cloth. Add some ghost tie-outs of the corners and ridgeline.

I have some 6 (or 8) mil plastic sheeting. I was going to try and make a tarp out of this. You have me curious...what are ghost tie-outs? I was going try and sew some tie outs, but I saw this and it make me curious.

In one of the older Boy Scout field guides, they suggest re-enforcing a plastic sheeting tent with 1/2-inch filament tape applied to the underside. They show the tape applied to form a 4x4 grid and also on the diagonals.

How much would that affect the weight? Is the filament tape lighter or stronger than duct tape?
